[Husker] 21-10 at the half

[Tommy Thompson]

I still think the defensive gameplan was sound.  The execution was terrible. 
Too many missed tackles.  All game, the Husker defenders would be in 
position to  hit the USC running back behind the line of scrimmage. 
Unfortunately, they either tried to arm tackle, they overran the carrier, or 
they were juked out of their socks.

Both offensive and defensive lines were terrible.  Was Booty ever touched? 
Keller was put on his back way too many times.

Secondary seemed ok, coverage wise.  Against the run, however, they didn't 
fare too well.

Keller looked better this week.  I think he'll be ok the rest of the way.

Lucky is impressive if he has time to read the hole.  He is not so good if 
he doesn't.

LB crew over pursued too much.  Brandenburg was the exception.  He had a 
good game.  Dillard was also impressive.  I would like to see him on the 
field more.

The Huskers last two touchdowns were cheap, but I don't blame Callahan for 
keeping the starters in.  Multiple reasons for that.  1.  The game ended on 
positive notes.  2. The offense was able to work out some kinks, hopefully.3 
Pete Carroll was obviously trying to run up the score.   Callahan had a 
right to answer back.
